Our take

CleanPlate review

A savoury protein oat with a salty seasoning

Tata Soulfull No Cook Hi-Protein Millet Oats Mast Masala is rolled oats (34%), soy isolate and nuggets (25%), a masala seasoning (18%) of maltodextrin, salt, sugar, onion, spices, garlic, potassium chloride, enhancers, flavourings and hydrolysed protein, jowar flakes (16%), rice bran oil, carrot and peas (1.6%), a stabiliser, oat flour, coriander and BHA. It is made by adding hot water.

CleanPlate scores it BB4. The B for nutrition reflects 27.1 g protein and 8.7 g fibre per 100 g. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by rolled oats, soy protein isolate and soy protein nuggets), with additives that cost points: BHA, flavouring, xanthan gum and silicon dioxide. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (1578 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (1.3 g per 100 g).

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Masala oats are a healthy snack"

The oats are; the tastemaker brings a large share of a day's salt in one bowl.

Myth: "High protein makes it a health food"

The protein is real; the salt is still a large share of the day.

Smarter ways to eat it

Add chopped vegetables or peas while cooking: more volume and fibre for the same salt.

Use less water, add curd

A spoon of curd on top cools the spice and adds protein.
